For years after one of the men got out he was forced to register as a sex offender even though another man had confessed to the crime the court convicted him of. The system's excuse was that because he had served a full sentence he wasn't eligible for exoneration. It took a full pardon from the state before he was allowed to stop registering as a sex offender for a crime another man confessed to.

No, that is fake news. They can sue civilly; they cannot rely on a guilty verdict to automatically establish civil liability. OJ got nailed in a civil case after he was acquitted.

As for the suicide, good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope every murderer kills himself shortly after being convicted. Saves the taxpayers a lifetime of expense.

I see many people questioning the timing, but there is a lot about the timing that makes a good deal of sense. Realize that Hernandez was staying in a holding cell for his trial, and once the trial ended, it was back to prison. With that trial over, there was nothing else to look forward to but slow aging in general prison population.

In combination with the aforementioned possibilities of legal loopholes and their consequences, nothing about the timing seems suspicious to me at all. But people do love conspiracy theories.
